A general synthetic strategy, based on a convergent approach, allowed us to prepare series of luminescent unsymmetrical bent‐core compounds (2,5‐(disubstituted)‐1,3,4‐oxadiazole derivatives), via the Sonogashira crosscoupling reaction, all possessing similar hockey stick shape. Their mesophases were characterized using polarizing optical microscopy and differential scanning calorimetry. The observed LC phases possess classical textures calamitic liquid crystals.

Five discotic molecules comprising a tris[1,2,4]triazolo[1,3,5] triazine core were designed and synthesized to obtain luminescent charge-transporting columnar liquid crystalline materials.

Thermal and optical behaviours of a series highly π‐conjugated hockey stick‐shaped non‐symmetrical 1,2,4‐oxadiazoles, with liquid crystalline properties, have been studied. All them presented phases, in particular smectic nematic phases typical calamitic compounds. Although these substances are thermally less stable than their 1,3,4‐oxadiazole isomers, they showed better behaviour lower melting points. UV–visible spectra compounds 1a–1f solution displayed similar absorption patterns maxima...

Whereas perylene tetracarboxdiimides derived from amino-n-alkanes if at all only show monotropic (thermodynamically unstable) mesogenic self-assembly, the hexagonal columnar liquid crystalline state can be stabilized over a broad temperature range with doubly branched, racemic alkyl residues. An improved tendency to homeotropic surface orientation is observed, and of domains maintained upon cycling through room temperature.
Mono‐ and diglyoxylation of chrysene naphthalene leads to Perkin reactants that yield bismaleates, which efficiently photocyclize elongated phenacenetetracarboxylic esters. Their band gaps remain significantly larger than the value postulated for polyphenacene.

Delayed fluorescence (DF) by triplet-triplet annihilation (TTA) is observed in solutions of a benzoperylene-imidoester mesogen that shows hexagonal columnar mesophase at room temperature the neat state. A similar benzoperylene-imide with slightly smaller HOMO-LUMO gap, also liquid crystalline temperature, does not show DF solution, and mixtures two mesogens no solution either, because collisional quenching excited triplet states on imidoester imide. In contrast, TTA from imide but condensed...
